STRAsBURG, YAr July IL, 1851

Editor Shenandoah Herald
Ny DEAR sIR,-In your criticism upon
my "Notlce to Teachers" in your last issue
you make the impression upon the reader
that my notice Is intended as a threat to
those teachers who may desire to take in
struction in another Institute, instead Of
the one to be held at Strasburg; and that
| if they do not attend this particular lnsti-
tute, they will receive no certificates
However my language may have impress
ed your mind, | disclaim any such inten-
ton. All who come before me for examna-
ton will be dealt with fairly and Impair
italy, no matter what Institute they may
have attended, or at what school they
may have received instruction. AT the
time wrote the notice, did not think OF
any other INSTITUTED but my object was TO
arouse those young teachers who have
been able heretofore 10 pass the examlnS
ton with the greatest difficulty. and who
nevertheless show no disposition to pre-
pare themselves for more efficient work,
| but remain at home when the Opportnni-
ty for improvement is brought before
their very doors. This class Of teachers
must prepare themselves for better work,
If they would receive recognition when
they come before the people as candidat es
for positions in the public schools.
ask you, therefore, Mr.. Editor, to pub
lish this letter in this weeks issue Of your
paper, so that all who have read your crit
icism may also read this explanation; for
I do not desire to abridge the liberty OF
any one, or TO exercise the powers OF
Office in an Illegal or arbitrary manner.
Very truly yonrs,
j. B. McISTURFF,
Supt. of Schools.

Below we publish letter received at
this Office few days ago. The hero of
the terrible fight which it describes is w.
Frank Wolverton, Shenandoah lad, not
vet twenty.one years old. He is a son of
Mr.. Jack Wolverton, living near the
North Mountain, a few miles from this
place. Frank left here for Wyoming only
a few months ago. The history OF West
ern adventure from the days Of the
earliest pioneers to the present can show
no more thrilling or dangerous conflict
than the one gwen below, and it is no
wonder that the older settlers Of that
section look upon Frank as having about
as much "sand' as has ever been known
in that section. When we remember that
the grizzly bear is one Of the largest Of
wild animals. often weighing as much as
1900 lbs, as well as one Of the most fierce
and savage especially when wounded,
the reader can form some idea of the tight
place this Shenandoah boy got out of by
making one of the most gritty fights on
record

Mr.. EDITOR WIN You please insert IN

to the people Of your section. Mr.. W. !.
Wolverton, young man from Virginia,
near Saumsville, Shenandoah county,
while engaged in herding sheep on Beaver
creek, in Wyoming, was attacked by two
large grizzly bears and terrific conflict
ensued He was armed with Winches-
ter rifle and Colts navy revolver
When these huge animals broke into his
sheep lie seized bis rifle and wounded one
of them the first shot, and then with the
second shot wounded the other. They then
made fo7 him at fuN speed while the
brave young fellow used his gun as fast
as he could until he had poured the
twelve loads ID contained into them BY
this time they were within six feet Of
him, be being backed up against large
rock. Here be used his revolver, firing
the five shots it contained with such good
aim that he brought both his savage
visitors to the ground, Tins saving bis
own life and escaping without scratch.

yards and witnessed it al, and IL was the
most terrific sight ever saw. II will be
many day before the people Of this sec

has ever taken place in Wyoming, as far
as Is known to these people. Don't you

School Meeting.

In response to a call made through the
papers of the town a number Of our citi-
zens assembled in the Court House on last
Saturday evening.
Mayor j. W Magruder was called to
the chair and X. II. Martin, Of The FIR
ginian, was made secretary. The object Of
the meeting, as stated by the chairman,
was, first, 10 retain the services of Mr..
Best as principal, and this could only be
done by raising $500. In order to do this
it is necessary to supplement the school
fund available for that purpose, by a
private subscription Of $3.50. The next
question for consideration was measures
to erect a new and more suitable school
building, and disposing Of the old build
ing.
Judge ii. c. Allen then addressed the
meeting He spoke in the highest terms
of Mr.. Best as a thoroughly qualified
teacher, one Of the best that the town
could secure He said that three gentle
men had agreed 10 subscribe $500 of the
$3.50 dollars that had to be raised by
private subscription, leaving only $3.50 for
the rest Of the people Of Woodstock TO
raise In the strongest terms he urged
upon the people the necessity Of a proper
school building, and such school as must
prove of the greatest possible advantage
TO the large school population Of the town
and surrounding county. Judge Allen
was followed by Rev. Geo. II. Zimmerman
and Capt. Jno. H. Gtabill, both of these
gentlemen fully endorsing Judge Allen,
and paying high compliments to Mr.. Best
as a teacher and thorough disciplinarian.
Capt Grabill said that though he had no
children under Mr.. Best's personal in
struction, yet as member of the School
Board, and knowing his worth and value
to the school, he would subscribe SO
towards securing his services. lie said
this question should be decided as soon az
possible, as there were SIX applicants for
the position, and Of course these gentle
men desired to make application elsewhere
if unsuccessful here.
On motion it was resolved that the chair
appoint committee Of three to solicit
subscriptions.
On motion adjourned.
